I don't use RSJ.  I use cdrecord and its bethren.  That said, I have used
several different kinds of DVD-+RWs.  All 
are also CD-RWs.  I have not had any problems with any of them.  Most of
been whatever was cheapest when I 
bought it.

I have had several, because I had two OS2 machines and had two windows
machines.  I have written dozens of 
DVDs using dvddao.exe, and dozens of CD-Rs using cdrecord.  I use zip to
create backups, and then copy them to 
DVDs or CDs.

I support a "baby" mainframe (an IBM server running FLEX-ES
software to emulate IBM 390), and also use 
CDs/DVDs to back that up.

I have had a few coasters (usually attempting to use RSJ), but most have
been successful, and I have used those 
backups to restore so I know they work.
